The orange-yellow energy represents wealth.

Tao Hongmin is tall, and perhaps due to the social engagements in recent years, he has become a lot rounder.

Although he is destined to be rich and noble, he is indeed likely to die early.

This evil and violent spirit was probably the reason for his early death.

"How about it?"

Tao Anwen walked up to her and looked around, but didn't see anything unusual. She just felt that this room was much colder and too quiet than other places.

"Lin Qingle's perception was correct at the time. Your father is indeed surrounded by hostility, and there is something that is sucking his luck."

"Then...is it time to exorcise the evil spirit? How should we do it? How should we deal with this black thing?" Lin Qingle looked around nervously, feeling unsure.

"Are you all wearing the purses I gave you?" Su Yang turned around and asked.

The two of them nodded, and Lin Qingle even shook the beads she had given him on her wrist.

"Then you step back."

Su Yang took off the milky white Bodhi necklace from her wrist and directly broke the black energy chain that was linking the evil spirit to Tao Hongmin. She moved her red lips slightly and chanted a spell. The room was instantly shrouded in black evil energy, and only around the three of them was there clean air.

Without the transport of air, the murderous energy suddenly turned into the shape of a human head in the air. It had no facial features, but could accurately find the direction where Su Yang and the others were.

The angry oppression also spread to every corner of the room.

But the resentment in it was not very deep, and the hostility was not as strong as the pair of eyes she had dealt with before, and she could not sense the breath of Hei Su.

It should be just a small evil spirit without a lord who was attracted by Tao Hongmin's wealth and fortune.

That would be much easier to deal with.

Tao Anwen and Lin Qingle were frightened by the shape of the human head. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the scene.

The evil spirit seemed to sense Su Yang's special luck and rushed towards Su Yang at the speed of wind. The black evil spirit tried hard to break through the barrier around Su Yang.

Upon seeing this, Su Yang immediately recalled the Bodhi String. With a flash of purple light, the hostility was forcibly absorbed into the Bodhi String.

The evil spirit instinctively struggled to get out, making a shrill and terrifying roar. When it was halfway through being sucked in, the evil spirit extended its murderous aura towards Tao Anwen and Lin Qingle who were not far away.

Su Yang frowned, bit his lip lightly, and quickly transported the Qi into the Bodhi string, speeding up the absorption rate. In just about a minute, the evil force quickly disappeared.

The room returned to the silence it had been a few minutes ago.

"Is this... the end?" Tao Anwen asked tentatively.

Su Yang took back the bodhi string, and saw that the red color of one of the beads had deepened. He pursed his lips and tied it back to his wrist: "Well, it's over. Let's go see your dad first."

Walking to the edge of the bed, Su Yang carefully studied his expression.

"This evil spirit has been hanging over your father for some time. If it had been a few days later, I'm afraid..."

Tao Anwen frowned, looking at Tao Hongmin, who was lying unconscious on the bed with a pale face, her expression slightly complicated.

"Is your life in danger now?"

"He's fine now, but... a lot of his luck has been absorbed, so he needs to replenish his energy, which will take some time."

"Including my sachet, it will probably take a year or so. Too much has been absorbed."

Tao Anwen pursed her lips and said, "How long will it take to recover before I can wake up or get out of bed and move around?"

"This is not difficult. He will be able to wake up tomorrow after wearing my purse. There will be no problem eating. As for getting out of bed and moving around, it will probably take three to five days. He is still quite weak now, so it is better for him to stay in bed and rest as much as possible. He should not overwork himself."

"Okay, I understand." Tao Anwen took a deep breath: "Yangyang, thank you, if it weren't for you, he would probably..."

"Why are you being polite to me?"

Back in the main hall, Su Yang asked about her and Xi Youlin.

"This Sunday, I was worried. My old man is in this condition now, and it's hard to decide. But when I heard you say he will wake up tomorrow, I'm not so worried anymore."

"Have you made an appointment with him? Will he come to your house to propose marriage this week?"

"Yeah." Tao Anwen responded calmly, without any excessive expectations or ups and downs on her face: "I don't know if he is just in a whim or is serious. Anyway, if he comes, I will marry him. If he doesn't come, I will just let it go. For me, I won't lose anything."

No situation would seem too bad compared to her current situation.

Tao Hongmin must want to marry her off through an arranged marriage. As the eldest daughter of the Tao family, she is very clear about this and cannot change it no matter what.

Even if Tao Hongmin died at the hands of that evil spirit today, it would be of no use.

Tao Anchen has not grown up yet and his mind is not mature enough to take over the huge Taoyuan Wine Group.

His death will only cause internal strife in the company and will also be coveted by other companies.

The burden of the company will also fall on her. When it comes to company management and knowledge of wine, she has perfectly inherited her mother's talents.

But she has always been reluctant to join the company's management team because Tao Hongmin is very wary of her and even has spies around her to keep an eye on her.

If Tao Hongmin died, she would not only have to face the old foxes in the company alone, but also have to deal with the ambitious Chen Man.

Without any support, if she is attacked from all sides, the company will be divided up sooner or later.

This was the last thing she wanted to see.

This company is the result of her mother's hard work, so she would never give up the 25% stake that belongs to her mother.

Therefore, at that time, choosing marriage to consolidate her position will be her only solution and way out.

"I've asked Rong Zhan about this matter." Su Yang comforted her softly, "Don't be fooled by Xi Youlin's nonchalant appearance, but he is still very reliable. He will never say anything that he is not sure of and confident about. Once he says it, he will do it."

"And... this also concerns his own marriage. As the third young master of the Xi family, he can still make the decision on marriage matters. Moreover, the person he is going to marry is you, the eldest daughter of the Tao family, and you are also from one of the four major families in Beidu. Not only will the Xi family not lose money, but they will gain instead."

"It sounds like you know Xi Youlin very well."

"I don't know him, but... I know Rong Zhan. We've been brothers for so many years, so he can't be a bad person. Besides, Xi Youlin even discussed it with him before he wanted to marry you."

Tao Anwen raised her eyebrows, her eyes tinged with joy: "Tsk, are you trying to show off your love to me? We've been married for three months, and you're already sick of me."
